§ MR. NEWDEGATEsaid, he wished to ask the Vice President of the Board of Trade, Whether his attention has been directed to the dangerous state of the Nuneaton Station and level crossing on the Trent Valley Railway, and to the fatal 732 accidents which have recently occurred there; and, whether he will have any objection to lay upon the table of the House two Reports of Colonel Yolland to the Board of Trade on this subject?
§ MR. STEPHEN CAVESir, the attention of the Board of Trade was directed to the dangerous state of the Nuneaton Station crossing by a Report of Colonel Yolland in January, 1865, and in consequence of a fatal accident which occurred there last month Colonel Yolland has again inspected the station, and reported that the crossing has not been altered, and that owing to the increase of traffic the danger is greater. A Copy of each of these Reports was sent to the Directors, which is all the Board of Trade can do in such matters. The last Report will shortly be printed among the Returns of accidents presented to Parliament. And I propose to move, at the proper time, that both be referred to the Committee on the London and North-Western Company's Bill of this Session. If the hon. Gentleman still wishes to move that these Reports be also laid upon the table of the House I shall offer no opposition.
